These are our much sought after, beautiful, elegant fishbowl Coloured Gin and Tonic Glasses. The Balloon Gin Glass style, or Spanish Copa Glass style is most definitely the best way to enjoy a G&T. The long, thick stem means the warmth of your hand will not warm up your G&T, and the wide opening allows you to savour the aromas with every sip. These Gin Glasses come in a box of four containing a glass in each of the following colours: blue, red/orange, pink and green. Once you’ve seen them, you’ll want them!! These gin glasses are very desirable – not only are they sturdy and the perfect size for your G&T – they are absolutely gorgeous!

It’s not just the ingredients that make a great G&T….

Everyone has their personal favourite when it comes to gin…but here are 3 steps you can take to make sure your gin and tonic is as perfect as it can be…

You need a decent gin and tonic glass….long gone are the days of a gin and tonic with a couple of ice -cubes in a slim-jim glass (or at least they should be long gone…) and slice of lemon. Opt for a glass with a stem, so that the warmth of your hands doesn’t warm your G&T. A large, fishbowl balloon gin glass is ideal, as it allows you to savour the aromas of your G&T before you taste it. Taste is largely about smell, so you need to be able to smell your G&T properly every time you take a sip!

You need to ensure that your G&T is as cold as it can be…..you can add plenty of ice, or pop your tonic in the freezer 5 minutes before serving. For a perfect G&T, the colder the better…

Choose a garnish and don’t be afraid to experiment….rather than a slice of lemon (the juice is too acidic and can impair the flavour of the gin), it’s better to have lemon zest. The zest of lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit are all brilliant for jazzing up your G&T; even just a small piece can release loads of zest! Using a potato peeler or a sharp knife, you can cut a small piece of rind, and then twist it to release the zest, and pop it in your gin before adding the tonic. Zest, of course, is not the only garnish…other fruits such as strawberry pieces, blueberries and even herbs and spices you might have in the kitchen, such as cardamom, cinnamon and peppercorns can give a subtle new taste sensation to your G&T.

The best Tonic! As three quarters of your G&T (or two thirds if you like ’em strong!) is tonic, make sure it’s a premium tonic. Here at Importonics we have over 30 premium tonics to choose from. We have a range of fantastic “neutral” tonics, that go well with any gin (Kas Blue, Vichy Catalan, Nordic Blue, Macario,..) and a range of subtly flavoured Tonics (Liquorice, Cherry, Tangerine, Cinnamon, Strawberry and Lemon to name a few) to give your G&T a whole new taste sensation.
